Turning One Year Soon
Remembering Christmas last year, a month before my wedding
In a little over a month, we're going to turn one year. Imagine that! It's been a year since I got married! I gotta tell you, dear ladies, time sure flies when you're with the one you love.
A recap of the year so far: 1. We went got married on January 24th. It was a gorgeous ceremony, everything I could ever dream of and more. 2. We went on honeymoon in Perth. 3. We moved into our new apartment. 4. We travelled to Japan (a place close to both our hearts). 5. We realized we were ready to try for a baby earlier than we planned. 6. We got pregnant on the first try. We spent two months re-jigging our plans. The baby is coming sooner than we expected! 7. We visited Taiwan. 8. We lost our little angel - I miscarried barely 8 weeks into the pregnancy. 9. We re-jigged our plans again. This time with a promise to enjoy more of each other, more of being married, more traveling, more of the goodness of life. 10. We are off to the UK to spend Christmas with his parents. My first winter, my first Christmas abroad, my first Christmas with my in-laws. What have we got to show after 12 months of being married? We have grown more and more in-love and more and more grateful to have each other - for life. All in all, a very action-packed year. And I still could not believe that around this time last year, I was neck-deep in wedding preparations, wondering when would I ever have a moment's peace. One year later, it's still hectic and busy - but truly, truly fun and happy. Sending out a big hug to those planning for their weddings. May your marriage be as colorful, exciting and romantic as your big day. Hugs and love! |

  Bouquet Toss |
Ask a Question
Will the girls hate me if I keep my bouquet and use a "bouquet toss" bouquet?
It's a few hours before my wedding and I have so naively thought that all the major questions were already answered by the brilliant WBC team...
... then I saw my bouquet... And realized I wanted to keep it. :( So, we're thinking of buying/making a last-minute bouquet made especially for the bouquet toss... I hope the girls won't end up hating me. I guess I'll have to live with it. My bouquet is GORGEOUS!!!! And it's time to go to bed and put all issues aside. Getting married in 16 hours... Wish me luck ladies. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for all your wise words and for the wonderful camaraderie. HUGE HUGS, (soon-to-be) Mrs. W |

We love how the pictures came out - take a peek and enjoy. :) The first picture was taken at MacRitchie - at the exact gazebo my fiance proposed to me. The other one was taken near the Singapore River. |

Ask a Question
Wigging out yet?
I have ten... count them... TEN DAYS TO GO!!!
I am surprisingly calm and very productive in school (I teach English and Theatre) and have had great rapport with kids this week. But somewhere deep, deep, deep inside of me I am completely FREAAAAAAKING OUT. I am going to get married!!!! ME!!!! SAY WHAAAA----?!?!?! Just wanted to know if anyone else out there is getting the heebie-jeebies... or just plain getting so excited they can't sleep at night. Tell me how you've been feeling so far. It would make a very nervous bride very happy to hear she's not alone... hugs, tigrrl74 |

Father-Daughter Dance
The Laendler
My parents are throwing me a party before the wedding, a traditional Filipino party called "Despedida De Soltera" It literally means farewell to the single girl - this is where the girl's family officially "presents" their daughter to the groom and his family.
We've decided to do the Father-Daughter dance during this party instead of on the wedding day itself. We found this clip on YouTube of a father and daughter dancing the Austrian folk dance called the Laendler and thought it was a lovely idea. It comes from the "The Sound of Music" which is one of my favorite movies, my mom's favorite, too. We've nearly perfected this one and had a dance teacher help us with the moves. Simple and clean steps, but much more difficult than it looks. :) Here's the original with Georg and Maria... |

First Dance
Moon River Waltz
Love the movie, love the song. Chris loved the melody... so it's settled. Our first dance will be to the tune of Moon River. :) It will be purely instrumental with a harpist and a violinists playing the song live. :O)

Ask a Question
What surprised you the most about moving from singlehood to getting married?
"THINGS THEY NEVER TOLD ME WHEN I WAS SINGLE"
That's the real title I was supposed to write. It's three weeks (and a day) to my wedding day and there are A LOT of candid thoughts that I felt I should write down somewhere. If you would like to add to the list, feel free to leave a comment. Here's my list. The things I would like to tell my single self if I could go back in time. Feelings, moments, events, stuff that happen to you on the way to the altar.... 1. It is TERRIFYING. Make sure the one waiting at the altar is the hand you'd want to hold and the hand you'd want to catch you - for the rest of your life. 2. Everything changes. It's both kinds of dizzy: the world turning madly around you and you turning madly within yourself. 3. Some friends will be happy for you - keep them close throughout the wedding day. Some friends will be jealous - ignore them, their bitterness with life is their problem, not yours. Others, will be both. The latter are the ones who will gain the most from your experience. Give them front-row seats. They are your most special guests. 4. That wedding dress is HEAVY! Other wiser girls have opted for lighter dresses with simpler cuts. Your dress is the mother of all princess-ball-gown dresses. It's an event unto its own. 5. You will cry, get angry and laugh at the most ridiculous reasons. Welcome to insanity. 6. The in-laws are wonderful. God gave with both hands this time. 7. Love makes you open and vulnerable. If you haven't ever had a day when you were truly and ruthlessly honest to yourself about who you really are, warts and all, you cannot possibly handle the honesty, vulnerability and openness of having a partner for life. 8. Loneliness is part of life. It is not just the affliction of a single girl. You can feel very lonely sometimes inside a relationship. If you haven't learned how to handle loneliness alone, you won't know how to proceed when you're lonely with a guy. 9. You'll miss being single. Life was so much SIMPLER. Less people to decide what's going to happen in a day. 10. Finding "the one" is not finding someone, it's finding you. Now that he's here, it is the MOST WONDERFUL FEELING IN THE WORLD. How he got here was less to do with him, more to do with what you have done with yourself. 11. It is different from what you have ever imagined. Because it is MUCH, MUCH better than you could have ever hoped for or dreamed of. 12. Don't forget to thank your mom and dad. 13. Don't forget to thank God, the universe and every co-conspirator of this wonderful day - EVERYDAY. 14. It's possible to wish the wedding day were arriving sooner and much later at the same time. 15. It gets better and better everyday. :) |
